I am reminded of T-shirts that many skateboarders wear in California, which state simply "Skateboarding is not a crime". Maybe it's time we adopted such shirts:
Photography is not a Crime

very nice, probably the most unique work produced down there today.Originally Posted by Ash
Yes, it is...
or maybe:
SKATEBOARDING
PHOTOGRAPHY
RACISM
Only one of these is a crime
Maybe add 'Terrorism' and put "only two"
I bet the RCMP in Vancouver BC wished they had this law in place when they were caught on film (video) tazering, to death, a mentally disturbed man on a rant while he was lost and searching for his mother at the airport.
The idea of being able to arrest someone who sits near a police station and photographs everyone who enters and leaves the station is one thing, or outside a court house and photograph police after they testify or ask for a warrant, or the idea behind protecting the secret service and the anti terror squad from being filmed and images sent to "head office" to make up a hit list is fine, but to arrest a news photographer for taking pictures of a cop beat the $#@ out of someone while arresting them is another, and it is not far away I assure you!!
Allen it was obviously too little too late, I think once more (like previous protests by NUJ) the idea is to show the difference between a terrorist and a photographer.
Dakotah I hope that was flippant.
Ash,
You've done good. The sheer original thought to do stereo images on a demo is brilliant.
Well done and thanks for hilighting the problem.
Pete.
Thanks Pete, I am quite fond of the stereo experience. Maybe it's greed wanting two of everything
